Summary, etc. Will the "miracle seeds" effect a real miracle and lift the world's needy na tions from their dismal existence, or must millions of people starve and die with hundreds of millions forced to live a grim life of perpetual hunger? Can the planet sustain its galloping numbers with a fateful race between food and population already on hand, or must there be famines of staggering dimen sions that would claim perhaps more victims than even a nuclear holocaust?<br/><br/>Dr. Sudhir Sen, a distinguished economist and agricultural expert, is convinced that the future need not be all that bleak, nor need it be scarred by an endless struggle against hunger and starvation if the world makes adequate and in telligent use of the amazing scientific and technological knowledge to speed up development; if the poor countries fully exploit the unique potential of dwarf wheat, miracle rice, and other high-yielding varieties;<br/>if all nations-rich, poor, and newly-rich-work together and adopt the right strategy to boost food pro duction to the utmost possible extent and to ensure its equitable distribu tion within each and every developing country; and if such a collective effort-with seeds, fertilizers, credit, and other prerequisites-is mounted on a global scale without delay.<br/><br/>Written for the concerned citizen as well as for the specialist, A Richer Har vest is one of the most important books of the decade because it presents com prehensively, but also realistically and lucidly, what must be done here and now to safeguard the future of mankind in an increasingly interdependent world. Must reading for a time of hard deci sions.
